Job overview;

They’re strong on developing all of their team, so this is an ideal first step into a bigger management role. With responsibilities for helping drive the service, sales and success of the store, ideally, you’ll have some supervisory or team leading experience – but you’ll also be looking for training and support for your own ambitions. It’s a role that’s sure to test and challenge you but will also provide huge variety and satisfaction.

That means sharing their work, supporting their development, challenging their decisions and always being there for them with guidance and advice. You’ll also be there for the management team, lending a hand in growing the business and success of the store.
